Only Nentendo would bank their entire future on a 'gimic' controler.
I can tell you this, some 3rd party company that makes a real controler for the Revolution is going to be very rich!
Then again, this is the company that brought us the "brain storm" of the N64 controler. Some how it worked for all their games, but trying to emulate N64 on other platforms is such a pain because of their bad controler design. I dont' see how this controler is going to be useful in playing all those retro games Nentendo is promising that the revolution will play.
It's a cheep marketing gimic, nothing more. I'll tell you, I won't have one. The last thing Ineed is my 6 year old "swinging" the controler and busting my TV. He's already to rough with the game system as it is...I don't want to encourage this behavior.
I'll stick with PS3. Itleast I know when I get mad at the game and throw my controler across the room...it will come back to me.
Oh please, You're just a wimp that's afraid of change. Personally, I think a single hand controller would be great, that way I can kick major ass and eat at the same time. It's the ulitmate in multitasking! Besides, the N64 did not have a "bad" controller, just because it had an extra little groove in the middle doesn't make it crappy.
uhh...
it's not exactly a single hand controller...
the analog stick is an attachment
I love my girlfriend.
That looks crazy......its gonna be hard to control too.......I hope youre kidding.

Q: What does the conventional controller cradle/shell do?
A: This add-on makes it possible to play Revolution games in a more traditional manner. The shell is designed to look and function like accepted "regular" controllers, such as the Wave Bird. After its bottom casing is removed, the Revolution's free-hand-style remote is inserted into a gap in the middle of the controller shell. Gamers can then use the shell as they would a traditional controller, with a notable difference: the pointer remote's sensory functionality remains active. As a result, gamers get the best of both worlds: more buttons and two analog sticks along with motion-sensing operations. In a Revolution version of Madden Football, gamers might be able to use the combo to control players with the shell's analog sticks and execute pinpoint passes with the pointer's improved accuracy
I take everything back.
I don't. I can't believe they want you to use three freaking different controllers. Great, more things to lose.
Ok I did not see that before. Thank you KenX you made my day. Now I can sleep peacefully. No more hand-cramp nightmares for me.
Ahh now that cradle is something I've never seen before, it's a bit of a better choice than a normal remote control. Though the cradle looks a bit retarted and carries that gamecube look that I hate. It's still an improvement to just a remote control.
